The ERP System Administrator is an individual contributor role within Alimentiv’s Corporate Digital Enablement function, serving as the primary functional and technical owner of the Acumatica ERP platform that powers our Finance, Procurement, Logistics and Project accounting operations. This is a hands-on administration role — the successful candidate will configure, operate, and continuously improve Acumatica. Another significant focus of the role is supporting the buildout of Acumatica’s procurement functionality — supporting Corporate and Clinical operations as Alimentiv’s procurement function matures. The role also owns the operational health of the SAP Concur–Acumatica integration via Celigo middleware and will play a central operational role in the planned annual Acumatica upgrades.

About the Role Acumatica Administration & Finance Operations (~40%) • Serve as the primary Acumatica administrator across the Alimentiv instance: configuration, user access, security, workflows, and module settings. • Design and implement Finance solutions using native Acumatica functionality — Generic Inquiries, Business Events, push notifications, custom reports, and approval workflows. • Support and optimize core Finance workflows: accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, project accounting, billing, financial reporting, and month-end close. • Partner with Finance to define requirements, document processes, and deliver Acumatica enhancements that improve data quality and operational efficiency. • Troubleshoot and resolve Acumatica issues; coordinate with the Acumatica implementation partner while building internal capability over time and reducing vendor dependency. • Maintain rigorous test environment discipline — validate all configurations in test before promoting to Production; ensure changes touching shared multi-tenant surfaces receive appropriate cross-domain approval. Procurement & Projects Enablement (~25%) • Partner with the Procurement function to continuously improve Acumatica’s procurement functionality— vendor management, requisitions, purchase orders, Concur-Acumatica integrations. • Configure and test procurement workflows aligned with Alimentiv’s project-governed, goods & services-based procurement model. • Maximize native Acumatica capabilities over customizations or third-party procurement platforms • Support Procurement through discovery, requirements, configuration, testing, training, and operational rollout. • Coordinate cross-domain approval and impact assessment for procurement-related changes given the shared instance and the downstream impact on Finance, Projects, and FP&A.

Upgrade, Governance & Continuous Improvement (~15%) • Play a central operational role in the planned Acumatica upgrades — customization risk assessment, validation, coordinated rollout, and post-upgrade stabilization. • Operate within Alimentiv’s gate-based Finance Change Delivery Process; use JIRA as the system of record for change approval and evidence. • Maintain living documentation of Acumatica configuration, customizationsand governance decisions. What we’re looking for Required Minimum 5 years hands-on Acumatica administration experience across Finance and adjacent modules.

Preferred • Experience administering Acumatica across Finance, Projects, and Procurement functionality.
